vbThreadSpinner

UPDATE 18/7 22:23 (Dutch Time)

Changelog:

deleted some unnecesary htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities()-calls

Fixed the problem that you couldn't move to a forum in which no threads can be posted.

Only re-upload spinner.php (newly attached) and you're done

Description: This hack allows mods/admins to selectively delete/open/close/move/copy/movewredirect threads in a certain forum at once!

VBversions: tested with 2.01 but will probably work on all versions

Features: Certain features are only shown when the particular mod has the rights for it. EG: When a mod can't close threads the 'close' option won't be shown.

Screenshots:

instructions:

1. Download the attached spinner.txt
2. Rename it to spinner.php or spinner.php3
3. Upload it to your mod directory
4. Backup moderator.php in your root directory
5. Open moderator.php
6. Insert:
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($action=="spinthreads") {

  $permissions=getpermissions();
  if ($permissions[ismoderator]) {
    header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
  } else {
    show_nopermission();
  }

} 

   after:
   
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($action=="modattach") {

  $permissions=getpermissions();
  if ($permissions[ismoderator] or $ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND canmoderateattachments=1")) {
    header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=moderate.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26action=attachments");
  } else {
    show_nopermission();
  }

} 

   Note: If you've renamed spinner.txt to spinner.php3 then you have to change
   
   header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
   
   to
   
   header("Location: mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&loc=spinner.php3?s=$session[sessionhash]%26parentid=$forumid");
   
   in the above section
   
7. Save moderator.php
8. Edit your forumdisplay_adminoptions template (forumdisplay templates)
   
   and add a new option:
   
   <option value="spinthreads">Spin Threads</option>
   
   so it probably will look something like this:
   
   

   <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <form action="moderator.php" method="get"><tr><td>
   <smallfont>
   <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
   <input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid">
   <b>Admin Options:</b><br>
   <select name="action"
   onchange="window.location=('moderator.php?s=$sessi on[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid&action='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
   <option value="modposts" selected>-- Forum Options --</option>
   <option value="modposts">View Posts Queue</option>
   <option value="modattach">View Attachment Queue</option>
   <option value="move">Mass Move</option>
   <option value="prune">Mass Prune</option>
   <option value="spinthreads">Spin Threads</option>
   </select>
   <input type="image" src="images/go.gif" border="0" align="absbottom">
   </smallfont>
   </td></tr></form>
   </table>

That's it! Enjoy

I am running version 2.2.6 of vBulletin. However, when I am inside the specific forum I want to organize (I added subforums and I am just shuffling threads around), I cannot seem to find that pesky moderator options pull down. What the heck am I doing wrong?

I sure hope I can figure out how to make this work, otherwise getting this board revised is going to be a never ending project.

Also, I didn't quite follow an earlier post about accessing spinner via the Admin CP. If I could do this, it would be excellent. I see where you showed what code to add, but I am not sure to which file or template the addition should be made.

Sorry if I sound like an idiot. Generally speaking - when it comes to coding, that's exactly what I am.

A follow-up question. Is this a hack of a hack? I mean, is there normally a "Moderator Options" pull down available at the forum level? I have contacted a couple other friends who are running vBulletin, and they are having similar issues...

They can't find the menu either!

[Link14716]

There is not a moderator options pulldown, there is an Admin Options pulldown. Yes, that is standard to vBulletin.

[Jeff Williams]

OK... I am still not seeing an "admin options" pulldown.

[Austin Dea]

It works perfectly on 2.3.0 with scsa20's and Link's modifications. I didn't use the moderator additions (which may be where the problems are), because I wanted only the admins to be able to do it =P

[Intex]

Installed, works great. Good job .

[tpearl5]

Wow.. this was hidden.. glad I found it. VERY useful for dividing up forums and putting threads in new forums!
